Backrooms To The Future

Had a Glacier Mint for the first time in ages and they are now so small I'm surprised the're not called Snowball Mints.

Went round the pharmacy at lunchtime and its in the same building as the Co-Op and they've now got a massive digital ad screen inside. Also there's a new out-door launderette in the car park. Feel like I'm in a crap cyberpunk game.

As a teen I had to wait a year to read a book after seeing a review. Tried ordering it from my local bookshop and got crickets. Had to travel to a specialist science fiction book shop when it came out in paperback. Today I could start reading it instantly on kindle bsky.app/profile/mdru...

I’m Moby Dick for Halloween

Walked past house earlier that used to have a Man United plaque but it's no longer there. Wonder if they've moved or just taken it down in shame.

Down town to get my flu / covid jab and it was absolute mayhem because apparently last weeks session got cancelled. Had to queue for half an hour. Nipped into the supermarket while I was down there and that was equally manic. Reminded me why I avoid town on a Sat.

Can't see why Jeremy Corbyn couldn't both replace Monty Don on Gardener's World and play the new James Bond,

My awesome partner @grimlypitch.bsky.social has made some badass stained glass Siouxsie eyes! I just love ‘em 😊🖤

I remember as a teenager rumours that the massive out of town frozen food processing factory was also used as strategic storage location in case there was some kind of major incident that interrupted supermarket deliveries. I guess we're not bothering with that now. bsky.app/profile/russ...

This is incredible. This is a Hall Of Famer. I am absolutely crying.

I stopped listening to a BBC tech podcast when it became obvious they didn't know what they were talking about and were just winging it bsky.app/profile/joda...

David Niven nearly died from blood poisoning while making The Guns of Navarone after splitting his lip while filming in a tank full of dirty water. After a month in hospital he returned to finish the film but it caused him to relapse for another seven weeks. bsky.app/profile/amyt...

We nearly had Frank Sinatra as Dirty Harry but he couldn't lift the gun because he'd injured his wrist while making the Manchurian Candidate. (Clint Eastwood said it was a lame excuse) bsky.app/profile/amyt...

"Bill, we want to bring you back for a part in our new blockbuster, Raiders of the Lost Ark." "You're not gonna call me 'Porkins' again, are you?" "No." "What's my character's name?" "Major Eaton." "Fuck you, George"

Playing through the Sunn O))) rig with acoustic guitar. 😮🤯 Huge thanks to the band and their incredible crew for being so generous and welcoming! Make sure to catch one of these shows if you can, a transcendent experience like no other. 🙏♥️ 📸: Stephen O’Malley

found an NYC Teamster whose tiktoks are just skate tricks he dedicates to other unions.

Got click-baited into watching an AI vid on youtube and it was such a low effort - just repetitive nonsense over a random slideshow - that it actively annoyed me. More fool me for trying to support a low view vid. Slop needs more warning than a tiny AI badge once you've watching.

*after watching the Friday the 13th prequel series* I understand Jason Voorhees now. He was right to kill all those people, even the ones he killed in space.

Mushroom picking in Ukraine is a whole different experience.

Silence of the Lambs - not only one of the best films ever made, but also the most underrated typography in the opening titles. So simple, but incredibly sinister. #TypeNerd

Ooops... AI agent deleted a whole series of a forthcoming show, weeks before broadcast. No hope of recovery, and the backup doesn't work, so the whole thing will have to be re-edited from the raw footage. futurism.com/artificial-i...

Right, time to get fighting fit again! *immediately pull a muscle in my leg*

That this bot, which posts random stills and clips from the thousands of hours of VHS transfers on archive.org, landed on *this specific frame* feels like finding the monkey at the typewriter that managed to write Hamlet.

Wild to see that statement by the Soc Of Authors whilst listening to a podcast about people going off the deep end with AI psychosis

Love that Metallica are 'we're not political' but they did appear in a show, as themselves, as a billionaire's favourite band. Of course that's not political at all. bsky.app/profile/murd...
